No. 1: Miss Congeniality
All-Time Best Movie Makeover

Gracie Lou Freebush tops our list of amazing movie makeover recipients. The slow-mo scene where the undercover FBI agent debuts her look -- and then totally wipes out -- kills us every time. Gracie's glam look definitely helps her score the guy in the end -- but did it help her learn to play the water glasses so eloquently? Now that's just natural talent.

Beauty makeovers are our guilty pleasure. Whether it's gasping at the final reveal of a TV makeover show or introducing a friend to the wonders of a burgundy lip, we love a good transformation. But the most satisfying makeovers happen on the big screen. Hollywood has perfected the art of the plain-Jane-to-goddess montage. (Think: "Pretty Woman," "The Princess Diaries," "Clueless.")

True, most of these movie makeovers imply that you need a complete fashion and beauty overhaul to get the job or the man -- or both. Even if we haven't quite worked out our feelings on that questionable message, we're still suckers for an epic on-screen transformation. That�s why we've ranked the most incredible movie makeovers in recent memory. Where does your favorite fall on our list? Keep reading to find out.
